Working Man's Blues Songtext
von Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen

Got my leather gloves and my workin′ boots
My beat-up Ford has paid its dues
Around five o'clock, I start to act the fool
Go out and buy me a case of them workin′ man's blues
Yeah, my hands are up but my back ain't tired
Still dance with you honey, try to get you smilin′
Tell me, darling, that it ain′t true
I say I got me a case of them workin' man′s blues
Now proper pay, it's gonna come through soon
But what the boss man said, the union do
Hope I get out ass-kissin′ before I'm through
And maybe lose a little bit of these workin′ man's blues
I might party all night till the break of dawn


C'mon girl, that′s tirin′ all alone
But headstrong man has somethin' to prove
That I got me a case of them workin′ man's blues
Now most of my life just hammered by
And time slipped through my pocket like my last thin dime
Someday I hope to find a woman like you
And help me lose a little bit of these workin′ man's blues
I want a penthouse luxury, time to lose
Wanna spend my money anyway I choose
Maybe buy me a pair of blue suede shoes
Hey, maybe lose a little bit of these workin′ man's blues
Maybe lose a little bit of these workin' man′s blues
Maybe lose a little bit of these workin′ man's blues
